    How often do these things happen in the year? I had two proper lectures yesterday, and both of them were hijacked by the fire drills. (I swear, they're following me around.)

    They are normally very rare, but theyve been doing them a lot in the last two weeks, Ive been fecked out of Spar, The Hub and the CA labs, trust my luck they didnt happen during a crappy lecture!!

    Id say they will stop after this week anyway, probably a new security manager or something who wants to get his jollies.

    All I can say is colour coordinate the wires. Makes it much easier to follow what's going on. I hope you're looking forward to the rest of the module!

    Can't say I've ever heard of him. Is he any good? Had Derek Molloy for digital in first year, he was very good.

    Haven't gotten any drills yet and I'm in Computer Apps.

    I think it's a good idea tbh; there's too many eejits in my class; could do with "slimmin' down the numbers".


    ... as it were.
